High-resolution T2 relaxometry detects intramyocardial hemorrhage post myocardial infarction in swine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) secondary to myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with adverse prognosis [1]. The byproducts of blood breakdown lead to decreases in T2 and T2*, and have been shown to be related to microvascular obstruction (MVO) as detected by early contrast enhanced (EGE) imaging [2]. However, EGE is heavily influenced by contrast agent kinetics and measures the lack of contrast agent penetrance rather than IMH directly. Here, we present high-resolution T2 mapping for accurate assessment of IMH without the need for contrast agents. Hypothesis: Quantitative high resolution T2 mapping can detect IMH, without the need for contrast agents.

Non-contrast T1 and T2 relaxometry characterizes reperfusion injury of acute MI in swine
Background Reperfusion injury in acute myocardial infarction (MI) results in edema, necrosis, microvascular obstruction (MVO), and intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH), the latter presents an interesting clinical target. [1] Cardiovascular MRI has been shown capable of characterizing all of these tissue components. Other than MVO, which is currently detected by flow-deficient regions in contrast en...
متن کاملT1, T2 and T2* mapping following acute myocardial infarction in a porcine model: Regional and serial alterations during infarct healing
Background Quantitative T1 and T2 cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) approaches have been utilized to detect edema post acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, a systematic comparison between the two measures is currently lacking. Furthermore, these relaxation measurements may also be confounded by opposing effects of intramyocardial hemorrhage that is typically not taken into account....
متن کاملAssessment of intramyocardial hemorrhage by T1-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance in reperfused acute myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND Intramyocardialhemorrhage (IMH) reflects severe reperfusion injury in acute myocardial infarction. Non-invasive detection of IMH by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) may serve as a surrogate marker to evaluate the effect of preventive measures to reduce reperfusion injury and hence provide additional prognostic information. We sought to investigate whether IMH could be detected...

Background In the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), therapeutic and spontaneous reperfusion of ischemic myocardium can lead to interstitial intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) which is associated with microvascular obstruction (MVO) and subsequent adverse clinical outcomes. Imaging without contrast agents (native imaging) can be used in AMI patients for additional myocardial tissue cha...

Background Late reperfusion of acutely ischemic myocardium may result in intramyocardial hemorrhage that has been described as a contributor to reperfusion injury. In patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction (MI), the presence of myocardial hemorrhage can be detected by T2*-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). This study aimed to identify clinical parameters associated ...
